Malaysia's transport minister will visit Australia on Monday to pledge his government's commitment to find flight MH370, still missing after more than five months.

The visit will come four days after Malaysia stopped to mourn the passengers and crew who died in the other Malaysia Airlines tragedy in Ukraine.

Forty-three Malaysian citizens were killed when flight MH17 was blasted from the sky over Ukraine on July 17.

The remains of 20 people arrived home in Malaysia on Friday.

Transport minister Liow Tiong Lai moved to reassure the families of the other Malaysia Airlines tragedy - MH370 - that the search for the vanished flight would go on.

"To reiterate, the search for MH370 remains a top priority for the government of Malaysia and we will continue to commit the appropriate resources required for that effort," he said in a statement today.

Mr Lai indicated he would be in Australia on Monday for a series of meetings, including with deputy prime minister Warren Truss and the Chinese transport minister.
